                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JOE BARTON

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 27, 2013

  Mr. BARTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Angie 
McDonald who retired on Friday, June 7, 2013 after 23 years as a public 
school teacher. Angie, a constituent and resident of Mansfield, TX, was 
a teacher in the Mansfield Independent School District for 15 years and 
finished her career as a Reading Specialist serving all of the 
Mansfield-area high schools. Through her dedicated work teaching 
students how to overcome reading and writing deficiencies, she gave 
countless students a greater opportunity to excel academically and 
succeed professionally. The efforts of teachers like Angie are 
essential in promoting a more prosperous future for the next generation 
of Americans and our nation as a whole. I am extremely proud to have 
her as a constituent and cannot thank her enough for her 23 years of 
devotion to our children's prosperity.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the 6th Congressional District of Texas, I 
ask all my distinguished colleagues to join me in honoring Angie 
McDonald and her 23 years of selfless work as an educator. We must 
always recognize those who dedicate their careers to enriching the 
lives of our children.
